Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A 24-year-old man was mauled to death by at least one grizzly bear while cleaning out the captive-bred animal's enclosure.
The bears were kept by Animals of Montana, a casting service that provides exotic animals for photo-shoots and films.
Authorities were called to the centre on Sunday morning at 10:24 a.m. and the sheriff's office reported shortly after that a man, originally from Pennsylvania, had been killed while cleaning.
One bear had to be put down to retrieve the victim's body.
A spokesman for Animals of Montana said: "It's obviously a tragic situation, and I don't think we'll ever know exactly what happened."
